Wishing Paul blue skies and Full Sails (http://www.fullsailbrewing.com/webcam.cfm)...

Aeladiir✭✭✭✭✭People like Nick Konkle and Paul Sage were the reason why this game has so many flaws that haven't yet been fixed and may never be fixed at all. They did some good stuff, but they were mediocre (at best) at leading the development of ESO.
I'm glad they're gone, tbh.Edited by Aeladiir on 29 June 2015 15:473 -

✭Maybe they left because the game took a turn in the wrong direction? Away from what they wanted it to be, as an example the difference between Sage's normally excited expression to his more weary expression after announcing B2P.
There's this general rule of thumb I've heard, that game developers are generally not in the business for the money, if they were in it for the money they would be programmers working for other firms as the wages are so different, they are in it because it's their passion and they are genuinely excited about and care for the games they make.
Which leads me back to my point; I don't think Paul, Konkle or Maria simply left for a bigger salary, but rather a conflict of interest in the development of the game that they were not willing to be backing up or put their name on.
Exactly my thoughts.
I remember Matt and Paul sitting in Front of the Bethesda guy being interviewed.
It was like two naughty school children in front of the headmaster.
I found it hard not to cringe when watching the words come out the mouths like reading a cue card or script.
Their body language made me think neither of them wanted to be there.
I got the impression there was a major difference of opinion on the direction of the game at that point and the powers that be had stepped in.
I can understand if people decided to walk at that point... if they weren't shoved.
Will the game be better for it ?
If the direction they were going is not the direction the game is now going...Anything that can be exploited will be exploited8 -

✭✭✭✭✭Lol thanks @nimander99. I don't think my experince in logistics and accounting translates too well.
I would love to work with ZOS, but they're not looking for any armchair developers.
What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
That's right... Horse.

I thought the same thing @Rune_Relic. That announcement was painful to watch. I just hope ZOS can take whatever they've been mandated to accomplish (make lots of money) and figure out a way to accomplish those goals in a creative lore appropriate way.
It's not going to be an easy job. I know I'm not the only one who's anxious to see the results!What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.

✭✭If he was really desperate, he could ask Gidorick (unless Gidorick is in fact Rich Lambert).
That's unfair to @Gidorick , looking over his threads this game would be improved immeasurably if they started implementing some of his ideas.

✭So another secret departure, biggest one yet too.
Now would be a really good time for ZOS to announce their content plans for the future, and not just the "new" stuff that we've been waiting for since Quake Con 12 months ago, but new features and systems that we've been begging for since launch.Allow cross-platform transfers and merges4 -
